Emergency Preparedness

The purpose of the Emergency Operations Plan is to provide a response system for faculty, staff, and cadets in the case of major disasters affecting the Academy, the Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR, or surrounding areas. Various federal and state laws require the campus to have an emergency plan. This plan is intended to protect lives and property, and to maintain an environment suitable for the orderly conduct of education.

All personnel designated to carry out specific responsibilities are expected to know and understand the policies and procedures outlined herein. The emergency response to any major disaster will be conducted within the framework of this plan. An ongoing campus training program on the National Incident Management System / Standard Emergency Management System (NEMS/SEMS) is jointly taught by the Chief of Police RoseannRichard and the NIMS/SEMS Trainer, Chuck Constantine.
